DESCRIPTION:Join us online! \nDecember is a month that moves us toward Winter’s balance of light and dark with short days and full nights. For many\, it’s a time to mark the rhythm of our days\, years\, and seasons. \nDecember is also a time to turn toward each other and gather together in celebration and remembrance of our interconnection. Our All-Society Platforms have become one place we connect with each other as an Ethical movement. \nJoin Audrey Kindred\, the American Ethical Union\, and Societies from across the country on December 31 at 11:00 AM ET for the next All-Society Platform: Human-I-Tree. \nNotice: There will be no in-person watch party for this AEU All-Societies Platform. \nClick Here to RSVP! \nAbout Human-I-Tree\nHuman-I-Tree is an original vision grown through community engagement at the New York Society for Ethical Culture by Audrey Kindred‘s collaboration with artists\, activists\, and children of all ages. It honors how every breath we take as humans is integral to the life of trees. \nAudrey brings Felix Adler into dialogue with ecological hero and 2004 Nobel Prize for Peace recipient Wangari Matthai by proposing that “bringing out the best in one another and thereby ourselves” is not truly peace unless we honor our interconnectedness by respecting the earth together. Human-I-Tree branches into a whole family of tree concepts that can inspire our human community building processes. \nThis tree-inspired platform includes gifts from several artists with whom Audrey has collaborated for Human-I-Tree. Among them are Simba Yangala\, Jody Sperling\, Alexa Babakhanian\, Annie Lanzillotto\, and Bonita Oliver. \nAbout Audrey Kindred\nAudrey Kindred invites the Ethical Culture diaspora to “come tree with me!” \nAudrey has led Ethical intergenerational programming for 25 years and currently serves the New York Society for Ethical Culture. She is the co-author\, with Dr. Anne Klaeysen\, of a brand new course published by the American Humanist Association called “Humanist Family Life Ceremonies.” \nShe is currently completing a master’s degree that centers mindful Climate Justice education. Audrey is focused on how creativity and embodiment impact our ethical development. She honors retired Ethical Leaders Lisel Burns and Martha Gallahue as her Ethical roots. \nMonthly Collection: Amnesty International \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event. These gatherings educate\, stimulate personal growth\, inspire reflection and action\, and strengthen our community. Sunday meetings begin with music\, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader\, member\, or guest.  Platforms cover a variety of topics that reflect current events\, pressing social issues\, and Humanist philosophy.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with C.K. Allen: Letter From a Birmingham Jail
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\, in-person and online! \nJoin us for a special Sunday Platform presented by our Ethics and the Theater team. This week we’ll feature a dramatic reading of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail by actor C.K. Allen\, directed by Tai Thompson. \nIn this open letter written on April 16\, 1963\, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. argues that people have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws and to take direct action rather than waiting potentially forever for justice to come through the courts. King writes: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” King’s imprisonment was during The Birmingham campaign which included coordinated marches and sit-ins against racism and racial segregation in Birmingham\, Alabama. The nonviolent campaign was coordinated by the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights (ACMHR) and King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). It began on April 3. On April 10\, Circuit Judge W. A. Jenkins Jr. issued a blanket injunction against “parading\, demonstrating\, boycotting\, trespassing\, and picketing.” Leaders of the campaign announced they would disobey the ruling. On April 12\, King was arrested with SCLC activist Ralph Abernathy\, ACMHR\, and SCLC official Fred Shuttlesworth. The letter\, widely published\, became an important text for the American Civil Rights Movement. It’s time to listen to King’s words once more. \nWatch Online: Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above. \nAbout C.K.
